Bluejacking passing cars

[davidology]

Because bluetooth manufacturers for cars use a standard passcode, anyone can tap into the system. So if someone cuts in front of you without signaling, you can call him an asshole using the speakers in his own car! bwaahahaha (or just eavesdrop on his conversations).

This is much better than cell phones where I could just send stupid messages to random, unknown strangers at parties.

How'd you do this:

"This is much better than cell phones where I could just send stupid messages to random, unknown strangers at parties."

create a contact in your phone with the message you want ("Look behind you," "the call is coming from inside the house," "Those shoes with that shirt? reallY?!", "look up NOW!", "Don't drink the punch." etc... )

Then choose to send that contact by Bluetooth. Your phone will then search for unwilling participants' cell phones that are discoverable. Pick one.

One note: if you named your phone in Bluetooth, make sure it's not your name or you might be given away!

Ah, cool. I need Bluetooth I guess. :)
